Contraception

Contraception helps you control if and when you become pregnant. Contraceptives are free to all women and men through the NHS.

There are many types of contraception, so you can choose the right method for your lifestyle. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error to find the right method to suit you so don’t be put off if one method doesn’t suit you.

You can access emergency contraception, or the ‘morning after pill’, from our clinics. On the Public Health Dorset website, you can find a list of pharmacies that offer emergency contraception for free. However, this list may alter so we advise you to call the pharmacy ahead of your visit. You can also buy emergency contraception over the counter from certain pharmacies.
